My handwriting: good enough for envelopes?

Or should I look into printing labels or printing the addresses directly on the envelopes?

I actually like my handwriting- I mean I'm no calligrapher but it's legible and I think it's kinda pretty. And I figure not too many people will care about how their address looks when they receive our invitations.

But if my handwriting is too sloppy/hard to read/informal for wedding invitations, I figured WW would be a good place to get unbiased opinions.

Thanks!

    I think this is a "know your crowd" thing. I personally wouldn't care but I've definitely had friends and colleagues talk badly about other brides that sent invitations with handwritten addresses. Those brides were also hosting pretty formal weddings at well known upscale venues so maybe it depends on the type of wedding your hosting.

    I wish i was talented and could write them myself. I have nice handwriting but super tiny... and no it looks too bleh. So i hired a calligrapher... to save me the stress. Yours look pretty good to me.

    All wedding invitations should be handwritten.. NEVER addressed with computer labels. Do them yourself. We hired a family friend to do ours. She refused payment and called it a gift.

    I am using a typewriter because it goes along with my theme... Is that wrong?

    I am totally labeling mine. I work in IT and I never write anything. I type faster than I write (and more efficiently). I write like a kindergartner. Mine will be labels.
